The inaugural beer festival

The inaugural “Ale FC Wimbledon” beer festival promises to be a fantastic summer weekend at the club and we are delighted to announce further details about this event.

In partnership with the Wimbledon Brewery, we will be offering over 40 cask ales, ciders, perries and craft beers available from local and regional breweries at the Cherry Red Records Stadium from 10-12 July.

As we previously announced, a home friendly match against newly promoted Premier League club Watford will be the showpiece event of the three-day festival, but we will also be staging plenty of other entertainment for you to enjoy while you sample a great selection of drinks.

Below is a summary of what is going on during each day of the festival:
